i started of my year with the ifca world championship slalom men that was taking place at sylt(germany)
we started racing on the 3rd day at sylt.
i was feeling pretty good on my ifju fins, good speed, good control and on the jibes it was just speechless.
at the first elimination i was sailing pretty strong and managed to get to the winners finale and got 7th place. which i was really happy with.
on the same day they decided to go for a second elimination, i ended up going to the losers final and got 13th place.
i was standing on 8th place overall!
the wind was pretty strong, i was sailing with my 36cm fin and my 7.8 loftsails racing blade and my starboard isonic 97liters.
On the last day of the event we sailed 2 eliminations again.
1st elimination i ended up going to the winners final, which i got 7th place again.
after the third elimination i was standing 6th place overall at the men slalom world championship!! not bad for a 15 year old boy.
On the 2nd elimination i messed up my 1st heat by missing it! that wasn’t so good! but i learned from my mistakes and that’s also good.
on the last day i was sailing on my 42cm fin, 8.6 loftsails racing blade and my 107 isonic starboard.
overall i finished 9th place with the men slalom world championship.
1st under 17
1st youth
prize for the youngest competitor!
happy about my result!
happy about my fins!
keep in touch Ethan Aru-4
